Love wins: Inside Anele Mdoda's engagement party
Love is no stroll; it's a beautiful journey that Anele Mdoda and Prince Bonelela 'Buzza' James are walking hand in hand.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Prince Bonelela quotes Isaiah 60: 'Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.'
He follows it with a tender line dedicated to Anele: 'These words were written centuries ago, but they feel like they were meant just for you.'

After celebrating their traditional ceremony of ukwamkela kwabakhwenyana, a ceremony of welcoming the groom into the bride's family, the two's love has shown to blossom even further.
The celebration was filled with love, laughter and familiar faces. Anele's close friends food content creator Neo Nontso, broadcaster Cindy Poluta, Mama Riro, Ezile Bubu and Pilani Bubu were all there to cheer on the couple.
Neo proudly stepped into her role as maid of honour. 'Your ability to look after everyone with a smile on your face is something of wonder. You are the literal extension of me. Maid of honour!' she beams in the caption.

Cindy's friendship with Anele has roots in a Instagram DM from 12 years ago, when she messages Anele offering to be her producer if she ever started a talk show.
The rest, as they say, is history.

Anele shares touching words to Pilani and Ezile:
'Ezile you are a constant reminder of God's angels walking on earth.'
'Pilane, with you in my life there is no room for imposter syndrome.'
